As the end of the year approaches, it might be a good time to reflect.

Try writing a poem or short non-fiction piece that explores reflection (however you wish to define it).

Mail postcards to your darlings!

[HEY RERUN, The Tinker-Crab @RerunTinkerCrab]

as this website folds in realtime, REMINDER: you can go get a bunch of special (much less expensive) post card stamps if you wanna mail a post card. You don't need a forever stamp! $$$ Teach the kids!

[Write253 @Write253]

@RerunTinkerCrab Highly recommend! If you want to borrow one in the meantime, let us know!

Tacoma(ish)-based writers and teachers: would you be interested in joining a once monthly group called the Writers-Teachers Collective?

For writers who teach and teachers who write?

An afternoon meetup for a couple hours to share our writing with another? Maybe write together?
